While 25,000 plus peaceful protesters thronged August Kranti Maidan on Thursday evening, a protest in support of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act 2019 — with not more than 100 participants — took place near CSMT the same day.

The pro-CAA protest was initially scheduled to be held outside Churchgate station at 5 pm, but since the required permits were not obtained from the police authorities, the organisers of the protest had to shift the venue to outside Gate number 1 of the subway near CSMT. This protest, too, was peaceful with slogans of 'Bharat mata ki jai' and 'Savarkar zindabad' as against the 'Hindu-Muslim ek hai, Modi Shah fake hai' slogans at the anti-CAA protest at August Kranti.
